Application filed May 6, 1925.

Z '0 all who 1n it may con/001w.

:ie it known that l, Gammon A. K101), a citizen ot the United States, residing at.

hosted, in the county oi Fayette anc State of West l irginia, have invented a new and use tul Heating}; Device, 031' which the followins: is a. specification.

This invention aims to provide a simple nicans whereby a single tire may he used .10 either as a grate lire in one room on one side oft a partition, or be used to heata drum in another room, on the other side of the partition, at the will of an operator.

It is within the province of the disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility of devices of that sort to which the invention appertains.

With the above and other objects in View. which will appear as the description procoeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details ct cons-struction, hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise cnihtulin'ient oi the in venti-ou herein disclosed may be made within the scope 01 What is elain'ied, without departing: from the spirit of the invention.

in the accompanying; drawings:- Figure 1 shows in elevation, a device constructed in accordance with the invention;

Figure 2 is avertieal section wherein parts appear in elevation; Figure 3 is a horizontal section taken about on the line 3-8 of Figure 2.

The numeral 1 marks a partition in a building. The partition 1 has a vertical flue 2. The line 2 terms walls 6 and 7 in the partition. There is a horizontal transverse opening; 3 in the partition 1 at the floor 33 ot the building. The wall 6 is broadened at its lower end, as shown at 4t, to ttorin a reduced throat 5 at the lower end oi the line 2. The wall (3 is sui'iported on cross bars 8 and 9 mounted at. their ends in the partition 1 at the sides oi. the opening; The wall '5 is supported on a cross bar 10, siniilarljv mounted. The wall. 7 has a small opening '11. The O'Pmllllg 11 located inunediately above the cross bar 10. The numeral 12 marks a drum which is curved transversely to term a trout 1%1 and sides 15. The drum includes a top 16 havingoutlet perforations 17. The drum 12 is mounted in the opening 3 and projects outwardly beyond into one room of the build ing, as clearly indicated in Figure 2, the

Serial No- 2835s.

perforations 17 in the top 16 of the drum 12 connnunlcating with that rooin.v The back of the drum 12 is in the form ot a plate 18.

The ends oi? the plate 18 are mounted in the partition 1 at the sides of the opening 3. The

back plate 18 has a horizontal top flange 19.

The flange 19 extends beneath the cross bar 9 and is secured to the cross bar 9, as shown at 20. The top 1601 the drum 12 extends inwardly beneath thewall (i, into abutment with the cross bar 8. There are upstanding ears 21 atthe point of juncture between the back plate 18 and the flange 19. To the ears 21, a damper 22 is pivoted at 34. The damp or 22 has upstanding pro ections An operating member 24, in the form of a rod, is provided. The rod 2 1 slides in the opening 11. The inner end of the rod 2& is pivoted at 25 to the projections 23 on the clamper 22. The space within the opening 3, to the right of the back plate 18 of the drum 12 in Figure 2 forms a fire place A grate basket 32 extends outwardly from the lower part of the partition 1 and bounds the fire place The threat 5 communicates with the fireplace 35.

A pipe 26 extends upwardly along the part (3 oi the partition 1. The upper end 2'? ot the pipe 26 coinnninicates with the line 2. The lower end 28 of the pipe 26 extends downwardly through the top 16 of the drum 12 and is prolonged horizontally, and broadened, within the drum 12. The end 28 of the pipe eon'nnunicates with a. horizontally elongated opening 29 in the back 18 ot the drain The part 18 also forms a back for the tire place Air is admitted an opening; controlled by a damper 30 on the front 14 oi? the drun'i. The front 1.4: of the drum carries aremovable water pan 31, adapted to secure a lnoisteninp; of the which. is heated within the drum.

When a tire is built in. the tire place 35, the room to the right of the partition 1 in liig ure 2 will be warmer. The damper 22, run der such circumstances, is moved, by the rod 24; to an open position, sothat the products of coinlnistion. may passupwardly from the tire place 235 through. the flue 2. The draft, under such circiunstances, is so direct that there is no appreciable draft to the pipe 26. It is uiniecessary, therefore, to place a darnper in any part 01? the pipe 26. If desired, the damper 22 may he swung over against the wall 7, into aclosed position, as shown air in Figure 2.

is claimed is 2- 1.. In a device of the class described, a partition having a due, there being a transverse opening in the partition at the lower end oi? the flue, a drum mounted in one end of the opening and projecting outwardly beyond one side of the partition, means for admitting air into the lower port-ion of the drum, the drum including a top having an air outlet, a plate forming the back of the drum and forming the back of a fire place in the other end of the opening, the flue communicating with the lire place, a pipe communicating at its upper end with the flue, the lower end of the pipe being prolonged downwardly through the top of the drum and rearwardly within the drum, the lower end of the pipe communicating with the fire place, through the plate; a single damper controlling the passage of the products 01 combustion from the fireplace into the flue, and means for operating the damper.

2. In a device of the class described, a partition hating a flue, there being a transverse opening in the partition at the lower end of the flue, a cross bar mounted in the lower portion of the partition, at the top ot the opening, and supporting the upper portion ot the partition, a drum in one end of the opening and. projecting outwardly beyond one side oi. the partition, a plate tor1niug the back of the drum and forming the back ol a lire place in the other end of this opening, the line couimunicating with the lire place, the r late comprising a substantially horizontal flange. means for securing said flange to the bane damper pivoted to the plate and controlling the passage or" the products o'l? comlnistion 'tron'l the ire plzzrc into the flue, means for operating the damper, and a pipe communicating at its upper end with the line, the pipe being ex;- tended downwardly into the drum and rearwardly within the drum, the lower end of the pipe communicating with the fire place, through the plate.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto allixed my .sigrnrture.
